August update
Good day in the gallery today despite it being August which is usually a very quiet month. And an order for tiles which will keep me busy for quite a while!

New glass tile jewellery
I'm really excited about this new range of glass tile jewellery incorporating both my current and earlier tile designs. The pendants come in three sizes, small, medium and large with matching earrings. Let me know what you think.
Local artist Anna Shalekoff is making the jewellery. Her work is meticulous, complementing my designs so well. I'm thrilled how well my ceramic tile designs work at this small scale.
More designs and colour ways will gradually be added to the collection.
This will be an exclusive range, available only from the gallery or via email.

Just arrived - Contemporary hand made glass jewellery by Marina and Susanna Sent
"Marina and Susanna Sent elaborate a family language in glass making, finding their own
original expression in the traditional field of glass beads and jewels. The two sisters
choose an exemplification of form strictly related to contemporary design in order to
develop creative ideas in a synergic dialogue; each of them contribute to the definition of
the project and to the production process with their individual sensibility and experience.
The poetic cascades of blown glass spheres become elegant necklaces, or glass fabrics
bind together in warp and weft of inventive biomorphic pearls, and can transform in
lamps refracting the light in fantastic prisms, or clear dresses created with playful irony,
ambiguously impossible to wear, and therefore all the more fascinating and desirable.
The accurate investigation of the potentialities of technique and form in glass making
leads Marina and Susanna Sent to attain elegant visual and sensorial combination with
different materials, like wood and paper, in their search for new frontiers to express the
beauty of form and the sensuality of the object."
